Hello and welcome to The Daring Cardmakers blog!

Every Friday at about 10am UK time, one of our design team will post a new dare/challenge, along with our creations to get you inspired.
So go on, give it a try - we dare you!
Leave us a comment with a link to your card so that we can view your lovely creations too!

Welcome to The Daring Cardmakers and another of our weekly challenges. First though, a big 'Thank You' to everyone who joined in last week and got 'Krafty' with Nat's challenge - it's always inspiring to see the ways you respond to our challenges.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we're emerging from the Winter months and looking forward to lighter days and warmer weather. This is Easter weekend, and some of us have an extra long Public Holiday to enjoy - so what better time to be

Celebrating Spring!

I'd like you to have some fun and celebrate all things Spring with cards featuring
something that springs or bounces - 'virtual gold stars' if you can get a
real moving element in there too.

Happy Friday everyone and thank you so much for playing along with last weeks elemental inspiration challenge. It was lovely to see all your spring inspired creations.

It's Dawn here with this weeks challenge and it's called......

A NEED FOR SPEED

The new season of F1 motor racing is due to start in the next couple of weeks and I know that my husband will be glued to the television. I would like to see some sort of vehicle on your card. Something that gets you from A to B with a bit of speed. This could be a car, motorbike, bus, bicycle. Anything with wheels or an engine.

Check out below what the Design Team came up with to help with your creativity.

We're
thrilled to bits to have her playing along with us this month and we
are sure you'll enjoy seeing her work here, and be inspired by her
amazing creativity. You'll find Dianne's first DCM card below, and you
can visit her BLOG for a veritable feast of papercrafting treats!

Do remember we're always on the lookout for future Guest Designers - contact us if you like what we do and feel you'd fit right in!

It’s Miri here and I
had enough of the cold and icy winter … I think it’s finally time for spring.
So for the first Friday in March I picked this picture.

Use it as an
inspiration for your card and pick at least three elements from the picture that you would like
to use: for example the colours, flowers/tulips, ribbon/string, lemons/fruit,
big letters, wood, dishes, furniture …

Have a look at the
Design Team’s creations to get even more ideas and inspiration!
